$ age --passphrase --output [path/to/encrypted_file] [path/to/unencrypted_file]
Generate a key pair, saving the private key to an unencrypted file and printing the public key to stdout
$ age-keygen --output [path/to/file]
Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are entered as literals
$ age --recipient [public_key_1] --recipient [public_key_2] [path/to/unencrypted_file] --output [path/to/encrypted_file]
Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are specified in a recipients file
$ age --recipients-file [path/to/recipients_file] [path/to/unencrypted_file] --output [path/to/encrypted_file]
Decrypt a file with a passphrase
$ age --decrypt --output [path/to/decrypted_file] [path/to/encrypted_file]
Decrypt a file with a private key file
$ age --decrypt --identity [path/to/private_key_file] --output [path/to/decrypted_file] [path/to/encrypted_file]
